St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church
Columbia, MD
May 1, 2024

At our parish, St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in Columbia, MD, we honored St. Phoebe at our Sunday Mass on September 3, 2023. Before Mass, we handed out literature and prayer cards, and during Mass our priest celebrant gave an introduction to St. Phoebe at both the beginning and the end of the Mass. So many older adults from our congregation, both men and women, were thrilled to hear of this discernment and of the witness of St. Phoebe. The response from our community most definitely helped us to realize and remember that we are not alone on this journey of uplifting women in the Church!

“I felt seen in my call to pastoral care, to teaching, to preaching—just as clearly as my ordained colleagues are seen in theirs. I felt valued. Not invisible. Not dismissed. I don’t know what the future holds—for me, or for the role of women in the Church. But I know this: I have hope.”

“If I were a deacon, I would have the support of other deacons and a community where I could draw strength through prayer and discernment. Women would have the privilege of speaking about Catholic social teaching from the ambo. I do believe women as deacons would renew the face of the Church.”

“We are happy to be able to share about women in the Church who lead and are heard, especially for the youngest amongst us who need to hear this message.”
